Woman Winemaker Fanny Boyer, Chateau Beaubois
Château Beaubois represents 60 hectares and is situated at the very South of the Appellation of the Rhone Valley, in the Costières de Nimes. 10 km away from the Sea and the city of Nimes and situated at 10 meters of altitude. Château Beaubois’ “Expression” line truly embodies this unique AOC of the Rhone Valley known for its innovation and commitment to sustainability. The lineage of women of influence and ownership at Chauteau Beaubois runs deep. Fanny Boyer and her brother François are the 4th generation to take over the helm of the winery. Fanny is the current winemaker, having studied at the Nimes Agricultural School for Viticulture and Oenology, then at Agropolis in Montpellier for 2 more years in oenology and wine business. She and her brother both held many positions at various vineyards before coming home to be the winemaker at the family estate. “The best day of the year for me is the day of trying all of the blends. I stop tasting new wines in the cellar for 30 to 40 days just to discover again the new wines of a new vintage and start a new page to build the range again that year.”
